Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A slightly corroded and damaged cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount, elongated with a central circular element. The central lobe has a truncated, flat top and central circular perforation. The arms are semicircular in cross-section with a flat lower surface. One ends with the vestiges of a circular terminal, perforated to take a rivet, and bent down as a result of old damage. The other terminal has broken off. The artefact has corroded to a mid-grey colour. The object is similar to artefacts illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 214; fig. 134) which tend to date from before 1350 AD.

A cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount with hemispherical central lobe (c. 14th century AD). The central lobe is solid and is plain on its upper surface. The bars are more elongated than some other contemporary examples; they narrow gradually towards their terminals. Each terminates in a small side lobe which is perforated and recessed on the lower surface; neither of the rivets survive. The artefact now has a dark-grey/green patina with diagonal file marks on the lower surface. For a similar 'solid' bar mount see ref. HAMP-C16BB7 on this database.

A slightly worn and bent, possibly irregular 11th-century silver late early-medieval penny of Edward the Confessor, 'Pyramids' type, struck by the moneyer Spracling probably at Winchester mint (c. 1065 - c. 1066 AD; North 831).
Two small points of copper-alloy corrosion product on the obverse suggest that this coin might be a plated copy; they may simply be accretions.
Although Spracling minted at London as well as Winchester (North 1994, 184, 186), only Winchester coins seem to have sufficiently elongated renderings of the moneyer's name to prevent space for the mint name. The fi…
